Wooden playhouse

My 3 year old has a wooden playhouse which is placed directly onto our decking area.
We noticed at the weekend that the floor is soaking in it and also the walls are wet at the bottom. I would expect it should be a little damp over the winter but it is soaking.
Does anyone know if its because its on top of the decking and what can we do to stop it getting so wet and eventually rotten?
Thanks in anticipation.

Simplest would be to jack it up on 2 or 3 wooden bearers. ...i'd get some treated 4"x2" (100mm x 47mm) timber. Local timber merchant would be cheaper than B&Q/Wickes. If the bearers rot they are easily replaced...though your 3 year old will probably have outgrown the playhouse by then!

Thanks for that. Have got some 4 x 2 in the shed. Will try and see if we can lift it at the weekend.
